Statement from Rep. Crockett in Support of Rep. LaMonica McIver

May 19, 2025 Press Release WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, Rep. Crockett (TX-30) released the following statement in support of Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ-10). "Let me be very clear: this is what the weaponization of government looks like." " Rep. LaMonica McIver was doing her job—conducting oversight, standing up for her constituents, and demanding answers from an out-of control-administration." " That’s not a crime. That’s her constitutional duty. That’s exactly what the people of New Jersey’s 10th Congressional District sent her to do." " While attempting to conduct oversight, she was met with retaliation, intimidation—and now, they're hitting her with charges." " Let’s be honest: this isn’t about justice. It’s a political stunt—plain and simple. Charging Rep. McIver is a desperate attempt to scare her into silence." " If they can come for an elected Member of Congress while she’s doing her job, they can come for anybody. Doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen, a green card holder, or someone just trying to survive in this country—if you challenge their power, you become a target." " This is the same tired authoritarian playbook we’ve seen again and again under this administration." " I stand with Rep. McIver. We will not back down. We will not be intimidated. And we sure as hell won’t stop fighting for the truth." " The people sent us here to serve them—not to bow down to a wannabe dictator."
